Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or TheBuddha.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

I'm learning the bagpipes as I want my kids exposed to their actual cultural heritage and not just maori supremacists stone age violent shitty culture just because they now control our education

Sweet, it's great to see another piper here! How far along are you in learning? I've been playing for about four years, but I still feel like a beginner in a lot of ways because I don't get the chance to practice regularly enough.

Only 4 months so well behind you. This is a multi year project.

Good news is that there is a rural pipe band nearby who does free practice lessons weekly. Which I'll join once business and kids grants me free time

Nice! I started playing on a whim, and ended up in my local pipe band, too. My instructor is the pipe major, it turned out, so I couldn't really say no. It's been really good for my playing, especially since we compete.

I think the key to learning anything new is finding a use.

That means you and i finding a crowd to play to (busking) or a band to join.

For a while, I was practicing weekly at the park, and that's been a lot of fun. I made some friends, I've randomly gotten some tips, and I've made a few people's day.

I was pirating books the other day and thought about you.

So, I pirated some books for you too!

That's awesome. We've had another user share their bagpipe prowess with us in the past in a few of these threads. Let's hear what you can do!

I can play high road to garloch. Just finished learning grace notes. I'm now onto learning amazing grace because it's my wife's favorite.

All this on a practice chanter. All going well in about a year more practice I'll buy a lowland bagpipe

Another user, as mentioned, is quite good on the pipes and has shared several tunes with us. They did Amazing Grace just this past Christmas. I'm sure @NoTrueScotsman would be interested.
